The second unit has been terrible so far tonight (and they were not great last game either).

If we win, we essentially have the exact same record as last year (easier schedule aside) without Towns for most of the season. The Gobert trade kept us afloat and help us to a better standing than last year.

If we lose, we are in danger of falling out of the play-in. The Gobert trade is a totally failure that we can't recover from for the next 7 years

LMAO.

18 point quarter for Ant. Has he had better?

I really want to see the Wolves keep their focus and push the lead. Getting 15+ minutes of NAW, Moore, Minott, and Knight would be great.

Westbrook would look good with the second unit

I'm extremely tired of Rivers in the rotation. He's just not been a good player for quite a while.

Nowell sucks at Rudy lobs about as much as Russel and Russel was apparently not including Rudy on purpose.

Amazing what a true floor general can do with this squad, without KAT even. This is the squad I envisioned when the season started.

I thought DLo would embrace a role as a floor general but you can’t change the mentality of a scoring guard, I guess - I’m happy we got Mike. Rudy seems to be so much happier, too.

I guess Conley was the missing piece.

Nowell, reid and rivers caused this headache

good defense from NAW

life_saver · Post #35 » by **life_saver** » Fri Feb 17, 2023 1:47 am

atleast Rivers made that 3

wolves_89 · Post #36 » by **wolves_89** » Fri Feb 17, 2023 1:47 am

NAW's defense is an order of magnitude better than Nowell and a major step up from Rivers. I'm not sure about him being the primary ball handler, but playing him next to Ant would be awesome.

Gobert looks like a new man on both ends of the floor lol

life_saver · Post #38 » by **life_saver** » Fri Feb 17, 2023 1:51 am

we easily could have been up by 20 points if not for some of these turnovers...SloMo with uncharacteristic 2 bad turnovers today

NAW already looked better than our usual suspects in 5 mins. I love JMcL's efforts but he can't defend either. You really have to pick your spot to bring him in.

We are so much better with Mike Conley running the show. Night and day really.

He's the perfect fit with this team.

We move Dlo for Conley, Walker, and 3 2nds!!!! Steal of the century.
